But they're Liverpool. If we wanted Fulham's or Swansea's manager at the same time they did (which was, I believe, the case when they/we wanted Rodgers from Swansea) we're not going to prevail.
The new Klopp was Tomas Tuchel when he was at Mainz. He’s ended up at PSG, so obviously in a diffenret universe to,the one we operate in now. But if only we hadn’t be so blinkered with the old “PL experience a must” pre-requisite eh.

Equally we might have appointed Solskear, Magath, Garde, Mel, Meulensteen, Zenga, Zola, De Boer.....I agree with the sentiments, but it is easier to get it wrong than right.
Football Association's technical director Dan Ashworth, 47, is in talks over an equivalent role at Brighton. (The Guardian)Shame we are not after him. I suspect he'd choose a meat and potatoes type manager that's gone through St Georges. I'd settle for him and Southgate though, admittedly zero chance now.
Sacked by Derby. Relegated last season.Nah, you're alright thanks.

He did well to get them into the Championship, then didn't do quite so well as they got relegated again. And the one time he tried his luck at a bigger team, he failed. He would be a sub-Graham Turner appointment.We should go for someone amazing. He doesn't fit the bill.
